It has been nearly two years since my uncle's death and it still stings...

On Saturday, we had our second annual memorial cookout in his honor. It was a joyous event filled with food, family and love.

It was wonderful to see and hang out with folks I don't see or hear from throughout the year. Everyone is wrapped up in their schedules. I am grateful for a time when we can all get together and enjoy one another's presence. I've seen friends that I have not seen in many moons. That elt really good.

Philly is the birthplace of freedom and liberty. The Declaration of Independence was signed in Old City. It was the beginning of us, as a people, having rights and separating ourselves from British rule.

Of course, this did not apply to all, but that is to come, much later.

I feel blessed to have freedoms. I realize, much more is to change, but much has been accomplished.
